ITM5.1 Profile in HTML format

Finally, a way to convert the Tmw2kProfile XML dump into HTML source.In the article "Formatted Display XML dump of RM profiles", I provided an interesting solution but seemingly half-baked.

• - unable to export/save the displayed data as HTML or any other format
• - must be displayed in a browser that is able to parse/translate XML (i.e. Internet Explorer)

Now there is a complete solution, and what you'll need is :

1. atleast java v1.4


2. one of the following XSLT jar files
   
   
   • saxon8.jar - can be obtained in the downloaded zip at the Saxon Source Forge site OR
   • xalan.jar - a development of the Apache XML project
   
   
3. and an xml Stylesheet

This archive. contains the files neccessary.

Basically, there are only 2 steps to create the HTML

1. Generate the Tmw2kProfile XMLwdmdumpprf -P Tmw2kProfile_name -x > xml_file


2. Convert from XML to HTML - there are two ways to do this
   1. Apache jar : java -jar xalan.jar -IN xml_file -XSL xsl_file -OUT html_file
   2. Saxon jar : java -jar saxon8.jar -novw xml_file xsl_file > html_file
      

You can really go to town if you have a script lke the one below, just feed it a list of Tmw2kProfile names and away she rips, the only down side is that EACH conversion can take around 3 to 7 seconds.
